Queer Titles for Inventions.

In looking over the list of patents re-
ferred to an element of mystery as well an
element CT humor, seemed to relieve it's
somewhat prosaic features. The patent
granted for 'cap litter for coffins'' had
certain combination of obscurity and
gloom which excited a reflective melan-
choly, but as the next invention on the
list was 'shank stiffener,'' there was a
reaction of curiosity to ascertain whether
the two inventions had anything in COM
mon. Another invention, a "sole and
heel edge blacker for boots and shoes,
struck me as an evidence of the way in
which convenient appliances for polishing
the understanding, so to speak, have been
specialized. My imagination had some
scope in determining whether the patent
for ''crimping machine applied to an
invention for the benefit of the lady's
dress or device for the arrangement of
her hair, and another patent for an "elec-
trio switch' left me in uncertainty
whether railroading or hair dressing was
to profit by it. A 'sheddle for looms''
was even more of a puzzle to me, as had
never heard of the first mentioned article
and could only conjecture that it had
something to do with a weaving machine.

The Little Newsboy's Appeal.

AS I was hurrying along Pierrepont
street one wet and chilly evening some
time ago I was arrested by a low and
plaintive voice, and came near running
over it's owner. He was a diminutive
urchin, too small and apparently too
young to sell newspapers on a bright
afternoon, still more after dark in q
storm. His story, gathered with some
difficulty from his half articulate speech,
was that he had two papers still unsold
and that he could not go home until he
had disposed of his entire stock. An en-
treaty to purchase the soiled and half
pulpy remnant melted into tears. AS the
poorly clad, shivering little fellow stood
in the rain, offering his merchandise and
his narrative, the spectacle was pitiful
one, even for the most hardened observer
of the devices of the highway. / asked
him where he lived, and told him I would
give him quarter if he would promise to
go straight home. He closed with the
proposal at once, and, ostensibly, at least,
went according to his agreement. But
where did the money go?
Since the interview above described
have met the same young person several
times in about the same place, beneath
cloudy skies Of under the effulgence of
the brilliant moonlight of a balmy June
evening. The same residue of daily
journals has clogged a sluggish market.
The same voice has been heard, with the
same tears in it. The same impossibihty
of rejoining the domestic circle until a
complete clearing out sale could be effect
ed has been reported. Candor compsls
the acknowledgment that one thing has
been lacking to the duplication of the
scene; the quarter has not been again
forthcoming. -Brooklyn Eagle Gram

Didn't Know 1t All.

Short cuts of all kinds are at premium
in Wall street, and of course quick meth
DDS of calculation have been studied there
with great success. The other day q lad
in Hoboken came home to his father with
a cumbrous method of calculating inter
est, learned at school. The father showed
him how to do the thing in one-tenth the
time, but the lad came home the next day
with this message from the teacher:
''Ten your father that he is wrong"
The boy went to school the next morn
ing with the message from his father:
'"Tell the teacher I'm right.'
The schoolmistress suppressed a re-
proof, and said: ''What's your fathers
business?''

Hints to Swimmers.

The expert swimmer acquires the knack
of expelling a little air the instant he
finds himself going under. This drives
out any water that may have been inhaled
if he has been taken by surprise by a
wave or by any other sudden immersion,
and he can usually hold his breath long
enough to reach the surface. If motif
he is kept under water too long for his
non-breathing powers-he involuntarily
tries to breathe, and browns, as do the por-
poise and his confreres under like condi-
lions.
The cruel and dangerous practice
among boys of ducking one another vio-
lently and at unexpected moments, much
as it is to be reprehended, has probably
saved more lives than it has sacrificed,
for it teaches its victims to catch the
breath almost as instinctively as does O
seal
The same end may be attained, how
ever, by less brutal methods, if the
learner will begin by ducking himself in
shallow. water, and as the submerged con-
dition becomes familiar, advance to div
ing, swimming under water, and the like,
until, within the bounds of reason, it is
matter of indifference whether the head
is under water or net.-New York Com

Magician Hermann's Trick.

IT never explain how do my tricks, :"
said the professor. eff I should attempt
to explain them probably only few out

PLANTATION. I do occasionally partly ex-
plain how I do some tricks, but [ usually
leave the lockers on much more mystified

right for me to give the secrets of the craft
away. A great many of the tricks per-
formed by me are also performed by other
men, and it would be an injustice on my
part to destroy their stock in trade. Be

is hard to get, and is jealousy preserved

How to Make People Laugh,

Adonis Dixey is spending his vacation
in touching up his theories about how to
make the public laugh and how to induce
crowds of them to pay for being made to
laugh. Here are few of his conclusions:
cit isn't making the public laugh that
shows genius, but to say something real
funny and keep the public from laughing.
Anybody can make the public laugh.
That isn't hard. An old joke that has
been heard fifty times before may make a
man laugh, but the next minute he'll be
saying what an old chestnut that was
The way to win the hearts of the public
is to make them believe you like them and
give them something to laugh over when
they've gone home.
''It's better to make one woman laugh
than four men. She'll tell more people
about it and it'll do you and the box office
more good in the long run. What you
want is to get people saying you're funny.
A man may think you're funny, but he
won't say anything about it. A woman
will. She'll tell her friends and they'll
want to go and see you. The actors that
please the women are successful New

A Brave Yankee so1diar,

''The bravest Yankee soldier 7 ever
saw" says Hon. Henry w. Fleurnoy
secretary of the commonwealth Of Vis
ginia, participated in one of the fights in
the valley of Virginia 1t was during
Sheridan's raid in the valley. Our COM
pany of cavalry was going across a broad
and level field at a sweeping gallop. In
the woods saw a solitary Yankee soldier
sitting upon horse, and l noticed that
every now and then gust as fast as he
could load he would fire down our line.
Pop, pop, pop would go his rifle, and de-
termined to capture him. I entered the
woods without his seeing me and came up
in the rear of him. I had fine seven
shooter in my hand and intended to use it
in case of an emergency. Irode up toward
him as quietly as I could, and had my pis-
toll cooked ready for use if he attempted
fight Suddenly he tusned and saw me, and
in an instant raised his rifle. leveled my
pistol, but he was quicker than I, and the
ball from his rifle passed through my neck
A few moments afterward there was a
general skirmish, but was badly wound
ed, and did not know what became of the
fellow who shot me and who stood solitary
and alone in the very face of whole COM
pany of Confederate cavalry and resisted
them.-Chicago Times.

An Old English Captain.

A conspicuous object in front of the
house of commons the other day was an
army captain, formerly belonging to the
Eighty-sixth regiment, who, in order to
attract attention to some unheeded griev-
ance he has against the war office, dressed
himself up in a most extraordinary
manner. He wore a black undress mill
tary suit, a white campaigning shake, two
white sachels hanging at his side, and he
carried in his hands an enormous broom,
with handle about four feet long
Dressed in this garb, and leaning on his
broom, he stood silently in front of
one of the gates of the house dur
ing the greater part of the day. He
did not appear to be mad, but he
seemed to suffer from great mental dis
tress. His age was about 55, and even in
his fantastic uniform he had respectable
and commanding presence. Tran

UNGATHERED BEAUTY.

Wear not the white rose of thy courtesy
On this day and on that, but let it bloom
Unplucked in thy souls garden, as plume
High nodding DER the crest of chivalry.
Long gathered blossoms are not loved of thee;
The fairest haste to unlovely doom,
While the falrn rose its beauty doth resume
In each new bud unfolding on the tree.
Wouldst thou the servant of occasion be,
And match thy mood to every CLEAN and
gloom,
When thou mightst wander where the heavens
ilume
Aye Towering verdure? Dearer unto me
The ungathered hedge rose, with its faint per-
fume
Than clipped exotics dropping languidly.

The fashionable fad for diseases over
here, while waiting for insomnia to reign
supreme, is malaria. 1t supplanted in
digestion, just as indigestion supplanted
nerves. In France the moral or mental
result of this real or imagined fad is called
ennui, which is entirely ineligible,
though too Elusive to be confined to the
narrow limits of translation or definition
Physicians encourage the idea of malaria
1t agrees with the preconceived theories of
patients. 1t lays the blame on locality or
plumbers and takes the blame off the in
dividual's late hours and Incorporate
meals. 1t puts the responsibility on cir
cumstances and acquits the patient. 1t
impeaches nature and excuses the non-ob-
servance of her laws.
Apropos of malaria an assembly over
here, equally composed of physicians and
clergymen, was startled by an after din
ner speaker whom they would call out the
other evening, when he gravely described
malaria as the cause of all diseases and
deliberately showed, to his own satisfaction
at least-and backed it with many plausi-
BILE arguments-that of malaria the cause
was poor preaching! He drew parallel
between the symptoms of malaria and the
various conditions and attitudes through
which a man went in going to sleep in
church. The prevalence of malarial COM
plants in country regions where the
preaching is poor and summer visitors
abound, was dwelt upon. When the
speaker finished it was difficult to tell
whether the clergymen or the doctors
were more laughingly indignant.

Women Who Smoke.

The French housekeeper delights in her
after dinner Cigarette" The sonora of
Barcelona loves in the evening to wrap
her black crepe about her head, and while
gently putting her long tobacco cigarette
cast heart thrilling glances from her
balcony above the walk at the wights
below While the German frau is fond of
her cigarette, or even cigar, and the
Russian wife is not behind in her enjoy
ment of the weed, and even the Japanese,
Chinese, Tartar, Dutch and Soudanese
wives all like to let tobacco smoke curl
from their pretty mouths toward the sky,
the italian signora is, perhaps, the most
passionately fond of the long, thin cigar
of the country called the "Virginia." 1t
is no uncommon sight of summer even
ing to see a party of ladies sitting in some
cool terrace overlooking the sea on the
Campagna, while the music of their velvety
language keeps tune to the soft splashing
of the sea against the rocky shore, and
send rings of smoke from their fragrant
cheroots. Press.

NEWSPAPER RUMoRS.

During the past week the air has been
filled with rumors regarding newspapers
yet to be in Bozeman.
1t is automatically asserted that DIR.
Waters. president of the Bozeman Pro-
hibition Club, is in correspondence with
an experienced temperance worker and
editor of Minneapolis, who agrees to
run a weekly temperance paper in Boze-
man, provided a certain number of sub
scribers is pledged. The ladies' of tho
W. IT. q. have procured the subscrIb-
ers, and the arrival of the gentleman is
now awaited. Whether or not he will
bring a printing outfit with him, is not
known positively; but it is presumed
that Mr.. George Anderson, who Is about
to give place on the Courier to Matt w.
Anderson, will print the paper with the
material he has stored in Bohemian.
1t is also asserted that Mr.. George Al
derson has about concluded to start q
geographically a daily-Republican in
politics. There is a slight foundation to
this rumor, inasmuch as Mr.. Anderson
has leased the rooms now occupied BY
the post Office and Dertsch & Tull. in
the building formerly owned by W. W.
Anderson.

HONOR ROLL.

Owing to the prevalence of measles in
the school, the number entitled to honor
this month is not as large as last month.
Hardness still remains at a minimum.
1t is found on inquiry that two or three
cases of absence have occurred on ac-
count of parents giving their consent
In cases where absence is really neees-
sary, no fault can be found, but when
such absence is simply for pleasure it is
doing the pupil an absolute wrong to al
low such absence, for lessons have been
lost and valuable information, given by
the teacher, lost. The result in such
cases is the pupil fails in his examina-
ton and is put in the next lower grade.
The result, the teacher is blamed. Par
ents, see that your children are in school
and we will see that they improve.
The following have been neither tardy
nor absent for the month: Gertie Bear,

CONCERNING THE CROW REVOLT,

ii. S. Campbell. a scout at Custer, has
made public some very interesting and
heretofore unknown facts regarding the
Crows. Campbell does not consider
Agent Williamson at all to blame fer ill.,
outbreak, but on the other hand asserts
that if Williamson could have had his
way, the outbreak woul have been of
very short duration. Wraps His-Tail-
Up, Mr.. Campbell says, is shrewd, and
has an ambition to become chief of the
Crows. In the Yellowstone Journal,
Mr.. Campbell tells of n instance of
the success of the Indians ventures,
The soldiers hi one of the Hotchkiss
guns, getting it ready for use, and the
Crows were somewhat alarmed. not lik-
ing that kind o. warfare, but the medi-
cine man said that after the gun was once
fired, he would put Il spell over it which
would render it useless for many days,
dark tho veritication. The very next
day the cannon la loaded and fired at
a target, and when the smoke cleared
away it was seen dismounted and prac
tically disabled. The recoil had burst
the fastenings and the medicine mar
was triumphant. All these things give
him great prestige among the Indians
and in their blind obedience to his will
lies the secret of the situation. Wraps
